Studies Toward Producing Eco-Friendly Plastics
Source abstract
Abstract
Plastics have become a major factor in modern life and the massive volume of plastics in use has a significant effect on the environment. Major efforts are underway to reduce the impact of plastics on the environment and to make them more eco-friendly. Such efforts include the use of bio-materials instead of nonrenewable resources such as petroleum for manufacturing polymers. There are also studies which are aimed at reducing the impact of discarded plastic products on air and water supplies, as well as on flora, fauna, and landfills.
